8. we don't even call it house "breaking" anymore with our doggies

only offer that as a measure of how out of whack these people are.

we've literally changed our language with regard to canines from "breaking" to "training" b/c of the perception that you don't want to "break" the dog's will. this, after reading about how you want to work his/her behavior to mold it.

TLC needs to start running programming to atone for this BS. maybe a few years of families living off the grid doing permaculture. or, city dwellers who take their kids to museums and theater.
